A mooring rope is a rope or cable used to secure a boat or ship to a dock, buoy, or anchor. It is typically made of a durable material such as nylon or polypropylene and is designed to withstand the forces of wind, waves, and currents. Mooring ropes come in a variety of lengths and diameters to accommodate different types and sizes of vessels.
When it comes to staying comfortable during physical activity, the type of clothing you wear can make a big difference. Sportswear is designed to regulate body temperature and keep the wearer cool and dry, but how does it work? In this blog post, we'll dive into the science of thermoregulation in sportswear and explore the key factors that contribute to thermal comfort.
Butterfly wings are covered in scales that are made of a protein called chitin. These scales give butterfly wings their color, patterns, and texture. The colors of butterfly wings are created by the reflection, absorption, and transmission of light by the scales, pigments, and structures on the wings. The patterns and shapes of butterfly wings are determined by the arrangement and interaction of these scales, pigments, and structures. Some butterfly species have wings that are specifically adapted for camouflage, courtship, or thermoregulation. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15440478.2022.2164107
Chitin is a natural polymer that is found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and other arthropods, as well as in the cell walls of fungi. It is composed of repeating units of a sugar called N-acetylglucosamine, linked together by glycosidic bonds. Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after cellulose. The use of chitin has been explored for various applications such as wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, agriculture and food industries, cosmetics and personal care, environmental applications and more
Chitin fiber is a natural polymer fiber derived from chitin There are several methods of producing chitin fibers, including mechanical, chemical and enzymatic methods. The most common method is the mechanical method, which involves grinding the chitin-rich shells of crustaceans into a powder, and then spinning the powder into fibers using a spinning machine. In chemical method, chitin is dissolved in a solvent, and then spinning the solution into fibers, this method can be used to produce chitin fibers in large amounts. In enzymatic method, chitin is first deproteinated by removing the protein content and then the fibers are produced by using the enzyme chitinase.The resulting fibers are strong, flexible, and have good moisture-wicking properties, making them suitable for use in textiles, such as clothing, bedding, and other applications.It is worth to mention that the production of chitin fibers is still a research area, it is not yet fully commercialized
Chitin, as a fiber, offers several benefits over synthetic fibers and other natural fibers such as cotton and wool. Some of the main benefits are:
Hope you learned something new. Till next time take care, wear mask and #SwachhBharat
Egyptian cotton is a type of cotton that is grown in Egypt. It is considered to be some of the finest and most luxurious cotton in the world due to its long, strong fibers which produce a high-quality thread. This makes it ideal for use in high-end linens, clothing, and other textile products.
If you have a requirement of working with accurate and fast temperature sensing application using a thermocouple, this post is for you. We use a thermocouple to digital IC which can work with many types of thermocouple.

Devan Chemicals based in Belgium have developed a microencapsulation finish to help people against allergic reaction to dust. Let's dig into it.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is an international standard for organic fibers, including both natural and processed materials. The standard is intended to define the requirements for organic textile production, including aspects such as crop management, waste water treatment, and worker health and safety.
The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is a global standard for the certification of recycled content. It's developed by Textile Exchange, a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable practices in the textile industry.
When creating a bulletproof vest, it's important to consider a number of variables, including the best bullet-resistant materials to use, the correct level of protection, and how well-fitted and comfortable the vest will be for the wearer. The steps that are normally taken when constructing a bulletproof vest are as follows:
